Free Wi-Fi at Airports and Some Rambling

This USA Today article notes the growing trend of free wireless internet at the nation's smaller airports. I don't know if this is a good lure for other people, but I'd be inclined to choose a smaller airport based upon this convenience.

Then, my brain fights this inclination, reminding me that choosing a smaller airport usually means paying a little more. Rather than becoming a poster-boy for behavioral economics (again), I realize that I could pay the fee for wireless access at the larger airport with the savings from avoiding the smaller airport and still be better off. Or maybe I'll just stick to my phone-to-computer internet and Chicago - LAX flights. Now if I could just find a freaking outlet . . . (from Wi-Fi Networking News)
